I don't think the one at JHP is very nice looking at all.
this is the problem with fancy paint jobs and so on. there not everyone's cup of tea.
I don't like the twin headlights or the polished rims.
I think bling'd up bikes should look like they rolled out the factory that way.

There just seems to be nothing SL/FE wise for sale at the moment. Maybe I should wait rather than buy the first one I find.

Be patient, three came up at one a few months ago, all going for around £2.5k. A good one is worth waiting (and travelling) for, but a bad one is a disaster. I missed out on a heavily modified one and was gutted, but heard later that it expired in great style....

not my other one was it?

Ali's right though - be patient and several will be along for you to choose from.

All superb. What do you guys reckon to the 900ss at JHP at the moment? Nice 900ss at JHP. It's certainly my style. I don't think it's a true numbered superlight but it's got all the bling that I like.

URGH !!!!!!

Not my cup of cha but to each their own I suppose.

If I were you mate I`d wait, the right one is out there, they are just like buses and normally come in three`s

Deffo go for a pukka SL, you will regret it later if you buy a blinged SS then a nice SL comes up.

Keep us posted

From that advert it doesn't look like the original as it has a bronze frame - so question - did they restart the numbering for each model.
From memory mine was about no 259.

Mines a MKV No242 That has a bronze frame but not a set of Terigonis. A bonus though the wife likes it.

All SL`s after the original mk1 had bronze frames inline with the equivalent SS of the time, and yes the numbers did restart with every new mark 1 to 5

Saying all that it's well overpriced....
